The next time I opened my eyes, I muttered a curse as soon as I felt the air on my skin. Where am I? In hell, already? Why is it so damn hot in this place?!
"You're awake."
Diego's voice came behind me. I jerked away after realizing I was on his shoulder, dangling like a sack of rice. I looked up, my back curving upward. My eyes could see nothing but smoke rising to the sky.
At a far distance, I could see a volcano erupting… wait, why is that bulk of flaming mountain moving? Te Ka, is that you?
"Where are we?"
My body was hurled to the ground. I groaned after hitting a solid surface. Thank God, it wasn't magma. I suddenly remembered my first day of training.
"Inside an Infernal Vortex," Diego answered.
So, the simulations were created after vortexes, indeed. I thought they were exaggerated. This means an Infernal Vortex appeared. This must not be in the jurisdiction of the 1st Division. If it was, there was no reason the captain would not inform me and Noir.
